This is probably the easiest soup in the world. Andy and I are both a little under the weather, and soup was very appealing for dinner. I had four fresh tomatoes (the last ones from this year’s farmers market basket season) and decided to turn them into soup. To keep standing at the stove to a minimum, I roughly chopped the tomatoes and an onion and roasted them with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, basil, and oregano. Once the onion was soft, I puree the whole thing with one of my favorite tools, the immersion blender. Some homemade croutons and freshly grated Parmesan cheese were all this delicious soup needed. Enjoy!
